"Even crueler than the last plan."

Friend --
It hasn't even been a month since congressional leaders
withdrew their "best" effort to repeal Obamacare. They
presented a plan that would have raised premiums, given
massive tax cuts to the wealthy, and taken health care away
from 24 million Americans -- but an onslaught of grassroots
opposition led them to cancel the vote.
Now, they've taken that bill -- which received a whopping 17
percent approval -- and somehow made it worse.
Obamacare opponents are meeting in secret to finalize a
new plan -- one that, in the words of the Washington Post,
is "even crueler than the last one." They're working on
something called the MacArthur Amendment, and it would
keep all of the same dangerous ideas the American people
rejected the first time around: gutting coverage, slashing
Medicaid, and raising health care costs for families.
But now, there's a new twist. It would allow states to opt
out of critical provisions embedded in Obamacare, leaving
anyone with a pre-existing condition -- otherwise known
as millions of Americans -- at the mercy of big insurance
companies, while their premiums spike as much as 3,500
percent.
Congress returns to Washington next week, and they're
threatening to jam this bill through right away. We need to
stand up -- right now -- and say loudly: This isn't an option:

This is the clearest sign yet that the administration and
congressional leaders aren't interested in listening to the
people they represent. They're trying to score political
points, meeting behind closed doors in a desperate
attempt to have anything to show for their first 100 days
-- even if it comes at our expense.
Here's what they need to understand: Obamacare is
more popular than it's ever been, and it's been helping
millions of Americans get the quality, affordable care
they deserve. It's up to all of us to raise our voices
again and keep fighting against another cruel attempt
to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Obamacare opponents are having secret conversations about health care - again. The results could be devastating.
